That kind of tantrum wouldn't get me to whip out the credit card. I'd break up with her then and there. And probably call the cops too. She'd go home in a taxi or a patrol car.

Thank hod the dealers in Hong Kong don't leave the keys in the display cars.  Dunno why that is not the case on the Mainland.

For reasons unknown to me, US cars enjoy pretty good reputations in China.

I don't know, Is it wise to break up with a girl who can shoot electricity from her eyes?

Dunno. I guess one of his rages (WTF? Forum gone?) caused an aneurysm and he's slowly nibbled away at by his cats.

As I was watching the car video, I still had some Mp3s playing. She gets in the car, and as the two guys are scrambling around, some Balkan-gypsy techno kicks in with tubas, trombones and trumpets. How appropriate  :D

Colleague: Why don't you buy a car for your wife?

Me: Among other reasons, like I don't need one, is there are fundamental differences between her tastes and mine.  For example, she won't accept anything except leather seats.

Colleague: If not leather seats, then what?

The thing that really pissed me off, is that he was sincere when he asked that question.   >:(

We rented a car for a day.  She still couldn't drive a rented car, because she had her licence for less than 2 years.  I said I wanted a Corolla, but could tolerate a Camry or Accord.  She said she wanted a BMW 5-something.  I said fine, you can have what you want, as long as you pay half. 

She then backed off  8)

We rented an Accord.  I did make her pay half of the rental and fuel, with the excuse that I picked her parents up and drove them to dinner  8) 8) 8)

Leather seats are terrible, especially if you live in a place that gets cold.

At any rate, behavior like this is common in communist or former communist countries.

Her latest argument is that I owe her 10 year's worth of jewelry, as I didn't buy her any since we started dating.  Therefore I should pay back in the form of a car.  That is a false argument, as I did buy her a platinum wedding band at a cost of US$150.  That has since appreciated in value.   8)

I think some colleague of hers once drove her home in that.  The words "why don't you guys buy a car" ringed in her ears as she got home.

Anyway, I am going to ship her to Okinawa next week.  The good Japanese don't have shitty requirements that people must have two year's of driving experience before renting a car.  I think that's the nearest place where they'll let her rent, so that's where we are going.  She can then drive to her heart's content, for 4 days. 

That'll be the first time she drive without a trainer/car dealer supervising her.  And I'll be sitting there :o

Think about it this way.  If not Okinawa, she'll go somewhere else anyway.  So, might as well take her to a place where she can drive.  It may save me the money of buying a car.  I have fought off her advances for two months already.  There is only 1 year and 10 months left before she can rent in HK.

I recommend going to Japan.  They have the only extant pre-dreadnought battleship in the world, aside from a few sunken wrecks.

So we've finally arrived in Okinawa.  My wife's maiden car voyage was done in a foreign country, on an island she had never been to, on a highway, and at night. 

HOW DO I TURN ON THE HEADLIGHTS OMG I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING

How come the driving school didn't teach you that?

I LEARNED DRIVING IN A MERCEDES WITH AUTO LIGHT SENSORS NOT THIS POS CIVIC


WHY IS THE CAR GOING AT 100KM/HR

You're going downhill.  Use the brakes or you'll have us both killed.

I THOUGHT WE ARE GOING UPHILL

Trust me, you're going downhill

WHY DOESN'T THE CAR TELL ME I'M GOING DOWNHILL OMG ARRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
